yea except the people who want more exposure for their crap are usually posting just that, crap.
its the same on facebook, people promote stuff collect likes and page stats then the page gets sold off for advertising or to a new owner who starts posting crap no one cares about.
there will always be genuine people trying to use the tactic who do post decent content but theyre usually few and far between. it might not be the case here yet but in the future i think it will be.
i see people writing thought out posts that make 0.01c and should honestly get more and then people who just share a random photo of a meme ( guilty occasionally) and make 0.30c-$1.00 but they get more exposure and therefore more upvotes etc. doesnt mean their content is of a dcent quality just means theyve taken advantage of the law of averages.

But that's why a couple of the resteeming services charge what they do - 2 SBD. It makes it harder for people who know their stuff is crap to have it resteemed, because they still won't get good results.
What I've seen so far is that the super cheap resteeming services end up resteeming the crap, and the higher rate services get the decent posts by people who put some effort into what they post, like this guy here with this post: @flauwy. He's not going to post crap and pay @carlobelgado 2 SBD to get it resteemed. He posts decent stuff and resteems that.
But a point you bring up is good, because what some "think" about a resteem is kind of unrealistic. So you might get a guy who just posts a web find he takes a screenshot of and posts that and pays for a resteem, thinking of it like an easy way to get upvotes.
The thing is the people seeing the resteemed posts don't upvote crap and so they'll just ignore the posts that suck. People posting crap will get crap results.
thats a fair point, i havent been on steemit for very long yet so i still have alot to learn. i just dont want it to end up being a pay-towin sort of scenario full of stuff you dont actually want to see. my facebook newsfeed used to be an enjoyable mix of news comedy memes and articles but now most of it is just crappy advertising and the same viral videos over and over.
